About this app

It gives you a rough idea of how long it will take to read. The app estimates the time in seconds and includes a timer to measure how long it actually takes to read aloud. You can also see the word count.

It is as easy to use as a to‑do list.

Around 50 languages are supported; you can set the language of the memo for a more accurate time estimate.

You can protect your privacy with a password.

There is also a backup feature that lets you save your notes to the device’s local storage.

■ Use cases
- For speakers of speeches, presentations and announcements
By knowing how long it takes to read a speech, presentation or announcement aloud, you can predict the total time required and whether you can finish within the allotted time.

It can also serve as a reference to improve your speech delivery and presentation skills. You can track how long your presentations take to see how you are progressing. The app also allows you to record the content of your presentation, which is useful for later recall. Recording your delivery helps you monitor and refine how you present.

■ Review by a user who tried it

1. My presentation skills have greatly improved since I started using this app. By recording how long my presentations take, I can track how much I cover and adjust my speaking speed accordingly. Recording what I presented and the materials I used has been very helpful for recalling the content later.

I used this app when I had trouble keeping my presentation under 10 minutes due to a time limit at my university. The app gives a rough estimate in seconds and also lets you record the actual time it took you to read. I write notes to get a rough idea of how many seconds it will take, then use the timer to record my actual reading speed in detail. Since using this app, I have been able to assemble my presentations more quickly and have not exceeded the time limit.
